Schanze Still Blames Media for Company's Problems
May 15th, 2006 @ 6:28am

Scott Hawes Reporting

On the heels of the Dell Schanze trial last week, we gave you a rare glimpse in to the world of Super Dell.

With the help of some meaty escorts, we got a chance to see Dell and his family, Dell and his computers, and Dell doing what he loves the most-- catching some serious air as he cruises the skies above the Point.

When it came time to talk about his trial, the fall of Totally Awesome Computers, and his public image, everything came back to the media.

Dell Schanze: "I don't even know myself watching TV. It's not the same. It's not me. I'm like, 'That's not me. I said that, but that's not the context I said it in.'"

Dell Schanze: "Totally Awesome? You killed it."

Dell Schanze: "We were going just fine and then all of a sudden boom. They aired this horrifically opposite of the truth story and bam! Sales crashed."

Dell Schanze: "They aired the story and instantly they caused a 40 to 50 percent drop in sales the next day."

What now for Super Dell? He says he'll do some more paragliding, perhaps sell a few paragliders. In the end, he says, don't worry about me. I'm Super Dell, I'll be okay.
